To a Healthy and Happy 2014!

(NaturalHealth365) Many parents and physicians have noted for decades that children with autism often improve when they have a fever. In fact, physicians first began reporting this phenomenon back in 1980 and few have been investigating why this happens.
But, in the last 5-10 years, some researchers have been hypothesizing why a fever helps with autism. Even mainstream magazines such as Time report on this extraordinary phenomenon. Current numbers show that approximately one third of those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show a clinical improvement in symptoms in response to a fever.
How does a fever help autistic children?
An article published in Medical Hypothesis states that the release of the amino acid glutamine could be the reason for the improvement in autism symptoms. In people with autism, glutamine in the blood and brain is low, but during a fever glutamine is released from skeletal muscles as provisional fuel and the glutamine is metabolized by the intestines just as if the amino acid had been ingested.
The International Journal of Hypothermia derived the same conclusion. They found that a fever or hyperthermia may be able to alter glutamate levels in the brain and therefore be able to impact the symptoms of autism.
Beware of ‘fever reducing’ medications
Fever has been associated with mental illness since Hippocrates was alive and the presence of fever is associated with a favorable outcome in various pathologic conditions. Another article in Medical Hypothesis states that there are most likely two groups of children with autism – those who develop acute febrile incidents and those who develop them but without fever.
It is thought that the first group most likely has higher functioning autism and can be helped by not suppressing fevers with medicine and using antibiotics and chemical drugs sparingly. They also suggest selective vaccination.
Editor’s note: Obviously, just for the record, NaturalHealth365.com does not actively promote the use of toxic drugs or vaccinations. But, we will – from time to time – simply state what research reveals on the topic and ask the reader to always make an informed decision about their healthcare choices.
How does a fever influence brain function?
A paper in Pediatrics confirmed the link between fever and abatement of autism symptoms and two physicians out of Albert Einstein College think they know why. One of the parts of the brain that governs attention and concentration called the locus coeruleus also regulates fever. These physicians concluded that the locus coeruleus ameliorates the effects of autism when people with autism are afflicted with fever.
Can we ‘fake’ a fever to receive health benefits?
Many parents of children with autism swear by far-infrared sauna therapy. The sauna triggers a fever response and the children demonstrate better cognitive function and eye contact. Wearing minimal clothing is better and don’t bring in reading materials or plastics in the sauna.
In addition, a glass of ice water and white towel is best. Starting out on a lower bench and shorter duration is necessary. Of course, using a ‘natural’ sauna free of chemicals, comprised of natural wood – not plastic – and free of toxic glues is ideal.
Along the same lines, researchers have found that hot baths to simulate a fever is helpful in ameliorating symptoms of autism. The researchers suspect that the fever may trigger the release of protective anti-inflammatory signals in the body. They found that children with ASD and a history of positive behavior response to fever had improved social behaviors when bathed – each day – in a hot tub at 102 oF, compared to those bathed in water with a temperature of 98oF.

An interesting perspective on healing. Don’t most of us relax and feel comforted after a sit in a hot tub? Sometimes, little bits of healing can be so simple. Click on above link to learn more.
If you are truly interested in discovering the links to Autism then add this clip to your repertoire.
It is time to not be in the dark anymore. Parents, family, friends, and doctors please do not limit your study of Autism.
We cannot wait for slow-moving government offices and pharmaceutical companies to sound the alert.
If we chose, this can be an era of a great coming together. Forgetting prejudices, stereotypes and judgements,
for the waiting children in our midst.
Science troubled about mercury in vaccines
I have often wondered, if the same amount of time and money were invested in vaccine trials, what would be the results?
Trials performed without ties to a pharmaceutical company or overseen by someone with a conflict of interest.
It is amazing how long, those with much to gain, have gotten away without carrying out genuine scientific trails. The fact that this discussion is dodged, covered up, and swimming in a pool of deceit should be a cause for a second look.
How many times over the years have we heard, it’s only a small few who have adverse effects, and of course, “small” reactions. I don’t know who engineered the masterful plan, that all who oppose vaccines are “out there” or in the dark somehow.
There is a little known fact for those who take up personal vaccine study. The ones with vaccine concerns are just that, the ones who study. I have to chuckle at how sure certain individuals can be about vaccination when under the microscope every viewpoint is passed on by a doctor, close associate or main stream news outlet. That is surety in a sandy foundation.
It is a crying shame that so many in the medical health field invest countless hours and money to gain a career that side steps the injections the majority receive. So much knowledge gained and great goods come from the medical field, but the education is missing a few key categories.
I haven’t had an overnight stay in a hospital recently, but sometime back, when I did, I found the diet ironic. I joked at the time, “and they are trying to keep people from dying”.
Anyhow, I don’t need to state the obvious, but nutrition and vaccines have much to do with the state of health. There are of course other factors but those two stand out as overlooked.
The title says it all. Please take time to hear his story.
“Dedicated to the Victims of Vaccines…I’m Alive”
Thank you Alberto Tremante. You will be famous through your heroics with all vaccine-injured and many, many more.
Let’s all say a special prayer for Alberto and his loved ones. What wonderful examples
your parents are of charity, the true love of Christ. I am so glad to know of you and your family.
Forza Alberto! Ti salutiami!

Here’s a musical gift to you from me.

So many who united to see the problem and took action to make a difference. Vaccine-caused disorders are rippling the planet. Click to watch the above video.
Why are so many blind to the pressing and building dangers of our current day vaccines?
So much heartache and disappointment abound from those who have studied and pondered the issues at great length and just want the freedom to refrain and not be hassled or demeaned.
Why is it, that many refuse, to respectfully consider another possibility? To be considerate of another persons choice, to pick and choose vaccines or abstain altogether. I read recently in, The Four Doors, when some choose absolute freedom then others are left with limited freedom.
What part of the Constitution or scripture would suggest one group having absolute freedom to demand injection of harmful drugs into another human being?
It is not, it is a part of some cultures and corrupt individuals have attempted to exploit so many for their gain under the guise of, It’s Best For All.
Let’s discuss this idea with those and their families who are injured or dead. Another topic in and of itself, Taking Care of Our Own. Where did that action go in regards to those injured? Easy to dismiss if a doctor refuses to suggest a vaccine injury. I believe most of us recognize the feeling of walking on egg shells if the mighty, greatness of vaccines is questioned.
I could go on and on with examples of doctors repeating they can’t or will lose their job if injury from a vaccination is suggested or diagnosed.
Our doctors in many ways are left in the dark on diagnosing with so little or no training provided in medical school to recognize a vaccine injury.
So why the quick judgement and stereotyping of those who do not desire to receive every new vaccine? Would some doctors be viewed as bad doctors within our culture? We wouldn’t want to be bad parents.
Trusting that your doctor knows completely what is best for your God given body without personally researching dangerous injections. I don’t believe brochures and college texts designed by the drug manufacturers are trustworthy sources and why are so many acting like experts in this area?
Every person on this planet has been mistaken about any number of things or had oversights. Why the cruel treatment of those who desire choice in this area when they are asking such a simple request.
Choice over our bodies and those we love.
What if the roles were reversed? Would those who desire to vaccinate appreciate their choice being taken away and simultaneously receive poor treatment?
Vaccines are no small issue. Vaccines have only been in the picture for a short time throughout the history of this world.
Isn’t it understandable that many would prefer to opt out of injecting aborted fetus material, human blood, formaldehyde, mercury, monkey kidney cells, etcetera into their bodies? Many who have studied these issues at great length, from all parts of the world, believe this will be one of the heaviest regrets when reflecting back 100 years from now.
Perhaps a more global perspective would help. Where does your country fall on the world-wide health scale and which countries have repeatedly been an example of above average health. Let us learn from those who have a track record of better health. What might they be doing differently? Possibly glean successful ideas from different countries.
The corrupt state of vaccines right now is like the elephant in the room that so many do not want to see. Let‘s all open our eyes, be kind and seek for the truth together. No matter what your views, let‘s allow personal liberty to prevail. Let each individual be entitled to their free choice and especially without penalty.
A true right under the United States Constitution written by men through the guidance of God.
